It's probably a bit late for F17, as F19 is almost out the door (!), but I now
have a specfile merging and cleaning the bits from Fedora and RPM Fusion for
xine-lib 1.2.3. It's also adding support for VAAPI and VDPAU. 2 patches to allow
building VAAPI got pushed upstream along the way.

I'm attaching a preliminary version to this mail. It still need a bit of
cleaning though. Given the changes involved, I think it might be a good idea to
re-review it.

As previously written, I'm not fully confortable taking over the maintenance of
this package and the dependant ones so I'd be grateful if anyone would be
willing to maintain/co-maintain it.
